Abstract: Henoch Schonlein Purpura is the most common systemic vasculitis. In the majority of children, the outcome of Henoch Schonlein Purpura is excellent with spontaneous resolution of symptoms and signs. However, a small subset of patients will develop long term sequelae in the form of chronic kidney disease. HSP patients could have various clinical symptoms and rare complications knowing well the diversiform clinical features of HSP could help us to make the correct diagnosis and give right cure and nursing. This is a case of 6 years old female patient who came with chief complaints of red colour rashes over the lower limb since 20 days. She developed fever which was subsided in taking medication later she developed erythematous macule patches over the both legs B/L which was asymptomatic in nature and lesion gradually progress towards the proximal end involving the whole legs and thighs B/L. This condition is often treated with steroids as it modifies or stimulates hormone effects, often to reduce inflammation or tissue growth and repair. Supportive care like delivering fluids, medication or blood directly into a vein can be done.
